WALL-PAPERIN G MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed June 6, 1907. Serial No. 377,603.

' an I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, suchas will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This "rinvention relates to wall papering machines and more particularly to that class in which the mechanism for applying Ithe pasteJ to the paper and for applying the paper to the wall is located at the end of a andle which is to be grasped by the operaton The. primary object of the `invention is to provide a machine of this class of such construction that when moved over the surface `y-.of. a wall, a roll of wall paper supported thereby will be automatically unwound,

paste `applied to the.paper, and the paper smoothed down u on the wall.

One of the nove features of the invention 1 resides in the provision of means for regulating the amount o f paste applied to the paper.

In. the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation ofthe machine, Fig. 2 is a rear elevation thereof, Fig. 3 is a top plan View, Fig. 4 is an end elevation, Fig. 5 is a vertieallongitudinal sectional view therethrough, Fig. 6 is a yertieal transverse sectional view, and, Fig. 7 is a horizontal sectional view taken in a plane directly above the paste distributing roller.

As shown in the,` drawings the machine comprises a frame including spaced uprights 10 and a connecting'portionV 11 from the ends of which the uprights project and formed upon the connecting portion at its middle is a handle socket 12 in which is engaged the upperend f a handle 13. Supported upon the connecting portion 11 of the frame of the machine and secured at its ends to the uprights 1Y0, is a paste container 14 and -this container has its to p formed of a rigid section 15 and a section lo which is slidable into position, there beine a space left between the opposing edges of the two sections to permit ofthe rotation partly within the container,

` of a roller 17, this roller being supported upon a shaft .which is iournaled at-its ends in the alpriglits 10.' The purpose of roller 1'.7 is

scribed and in order that the quantity of aste taken up by the roller may be regu ated, I have provided upon the cover section 16 for the container, a stri 17."which contactsat its free edge with t e said roller and I have provided suitable adjusting screws 18 which are engaged through the said strip and cover section at equidistant points. It will be understood that by adjusting these screws 18, the pressure of the strip upon the roller 17 may be regulated and consequently the quantity of paste, taken up bythe roller, increased or'decreased.

Upon a shaft 21 which is journaled at its.v

ends in the uprights 10 there is fixed a roller 22 which roller is in contact with the roller 17 and consequently is adapted to be supplied with aste by the said roller 17. Mounted direct y above Ithe roller 22 and u on a shaft 23. which is journaled in the uprights 10 at their upper ends i's a roller 24 over which the wall paper passes in a` manner to be presently described. There is but a slight space betweep the rollers 22 and 24. and consequently the wall paper will be pressed tightly against the roller 22. To insure rotation of the rollers 17, 22 and 24, these rollers are provided res ectively with intermeshiug pinions 25,' 26 an 27.

Journaled at its ends in suitable' bearing brackets 28 which reject rearwardly from the u rights 10 is a shaft 29 upon which a roll of wal paper is laced and ]ournaled at its ends as at 32 in t e brackets 28 is a roller 31. Bearing brackets 32 also project rearwardly Patented Mav 19. 1908.

from the uprights 10 and in these latter bearing brackets the ends of a cutter shaft 33 are journaled, there beingV circular cutters or knives adj ustably held upon the shaft by means of set screws 34 it being understood of course that the knives are to he adjusted longitudinally of the shaft totrim more or less of the edge of the wall paper. These knives coperate withl the roller 31 and with annular grooves 35 formed at intervals therein. I

In practice, the wall paper is led from the shaft 29, the roller 31 and the knives 33, up over the roller 22 and between the same and the roller 24, it being understoodgthat paste is applied to the wrong side of the Apaper as it passes between the rollers 22 and 24.

l/Yhat is claimed is- A' device of the class described comprising a frame, 4a paste container sup orted in the frameha pasteI distributing rol er journaled partly within the container and extending partly above the same, an integral cover seotion extending across the s ace between'tlie said roller and one upper ibngitudinal edge 5 of the container, a removable cover section extending from the lother lon 'tudinal edge; of said container toward the ro er but terini'vfA nating short of the saine, a strip adjustably secured upon the said last named. cover seo? paste applying roller journaled direetlyabove the first named roller and in Contact therewith, a paper roll supporting' shaft journaled in the frame rearwardly of the paste 15 applying roller, a roller journaled in the tion and adjustable to and from said roller, a

frame intermediate the paste applying roller' and the paper roll supportings aft, said last named iolier being; provided throughout its length. with a pluralit of eircuinseribing grooves, a shaft journa ed beneath the said roller, paper cutting disks adjustably held f upon the shaft and worling'in said grooves, and a paper pressing rollei` ournald in the frame above the paste a ply/ing roller.
